Plus, he’s the consummate gentleman and represents UT so well. He will crush it in the business world no doubt. He’s a legend.

Same as I bought mine last month but with the Vol Network now handling it, I agree they likely thought they‘d reach capacity before announcing it to the public. Not the best way to grow the fan base. They need to step up their communication and marketing efforts considerably as it’s fallen...

Unless a donor wants his name on the building, I don’t see the focus being on improving facilities. With over $20M annually being diverted from the athletic budget to revenue share, I think the focus will be on funding $ for football and basketball players. Outside of the big 4 (football...

Why are they no longer allowing standing in your old spot?

They should rename it the StealthVols Banquet. These guys are so under the radar since CTV left. LSU announced their first pitch banquet over 6 months in advance. UT typically provides 30 days notice but 10 days notice (in addition to the lack of promotion of the Fall exhibitions) tells me...

How many? And…over how many seasons?

The High brothers aren’t exactly crushing the portal.

Great addition….Knowles made this one happen.

He’s also a walking talking PR machine (I say that as a a total compliment). Seems Tebow-like but a better QB.

Well deserved. He’s ridiculously accurate, smart, and the complete package (high character too).
